Big Government, Scam, Wasting Money

• Feds Spend $429K Tracking Eye Movements of Latinos at Grocery Stores

  by Tammy on September 27, 2017

  And Congress can’t figure out where we’ll get the money to pay for the wall, or provide veterans with decent care, or cut taxes. Go figure… But make no mistake, this is simply another idiotic excuse, a pretend investigation at a university, to throw money at leftist academics. If we stop this sort of fraud and abuse, we’d have a heck of a lot more money for things that matter, including tax cuts. Via Free Beacon. The National Institutes of Health is spending over $400,000 on a study tracking the eye movements of Latinos and their children at grocery stores in a bid to fight obesity. The study at San Diego State University is using “eye-tracking technology” to determine how...

• NEA Grants $1M to Choreographed Traffic Jams, Climate-Change Plays

  by Shifra on June 29, 2017

  $35,000 for “exhibits” on the Pulse nightclub and Seattle shootings. But no mention of “terrorism.” They can all hold hands, sing Kumbaya, and rip off the government. The entire list of absurdities, er, projects, is listed in the Free Beacon, including: ….Numerous grants are dedicated to the issue of climate change. The Yerba Buena Center for the Arts received $60,000 for performances and workshops on climate change and a curriculum for public schools on “food justice.”…. A dance performance by custodial workers is costing taxpayers $20,000. “Featuring the skilled movement of a group of campus employees, such as dishwashers, cooks, custodial staff, physical plant employees, or grounds and maintenance crews, this multidisciplinary performance will highlight the work life of campus...

• U.N. Agency ‘Sorry’ for Using Syrian Photo in Gaza Fundraising Effort

  by Shifra on June 5, 2017

  It’s time to turn the UN building in Manhattan into a really neat parking garage, where it will finally do some good. Via Jerusalem Post. UNRWA has apologized for twice using a photo of a Palestinian child living in Syria, this time in its fund-raising campaign for Gaza. The double use of the photograph was brought to light by the Geneva- based group UN Watch, whose executive director Hillel Neuer posted both pictures on Twitter with the caption: “Left: UNRWA photo, Jan.27, 2015, of girl in Syria. Right: Same UNRWA photo, May 29, 2017, but now she’s ‘Aya from Gaza’ oppressed by Israel.” Next to the photo that it posted on social media last month, UNRWA wrote: “Imagine being cut...

• Obama’s Army of Public Relations Staffers Costs U.S. Taxpayers $500M Per Year

  by Tammy on October 5, 2016

  You read that right– half a BILLION dollars to spread his BS. And we’re paying for it. This madness has GOT to stop. Via Washington Times. President Obama hired hundreds of additional public relations employees to sell his administration’s policies, at a total cost to taxpayers of nearly half a billion dollars a year, the government’s chief watchdog reported Wednesday. Mr. Obama added some 667 PR staffers between 2008, the last full year under his predecessor, and 2011, when staffing levels peaked at 5,238 — a spike of 15 percent during those years. The number has since slipped, but there were still nearly 5,100 PR staffers in the administration in 2014, according to figures from the Government Accountability Office. That...

• NYC Mayor Wants to Fine Businesses that Don’t Use Use ‘Transgender Pronouns’

  by Tammy on May 19, 2016

  As we know, the left solely exists to control other people in an effort to make themselves feel relevant, and they will never stop. Ultimately they get to the point of absurdity, like this. We also know that the best way to completely destroy the will of a people is to force them to follow nonsensical rules with threats of serious punishment if they don’t. This is what is now happening in New York City. It also happens to be drenched in idiocy, which is also Standard Operating Procedure for liberals. Via Hot Air. I’m no longer sure on any given day if I’m watching the actual news out of New York City or reading the summary of a William...
